Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Abstract

A method for grouping controls is necessary when a user is confronted with several options for configuring an object (such as a communications session), and where the number of such objects is highly variable. The solution is to treat the control set as a scrollable list. The object attributes are edited in the context of the object selection list. This eliminates the number of dialogs, and allows the user to edit several objects without frequent dialog box changes.

Using Dialog Controls as Elements in a Scrollable List

A method for
grouping controls is necessary when a user is
confronted with several options for configuring an object (such as a
communications session), and where the number of such objects is
highly variable. The solution is to
treat the control set as a
scrollable list. The object attributes
are edited in the context of
the object selection list. This
eliminates the number of dialogs,
and allows the user to edit several objects without frequent dialog
box changes.

A spreadsheet
or table approach would work for many such
instances, provided that the attributes were editable as simple text.
For a general solution for a varying set of controls using dialog
controls as elements in a scrollable list is necessary to reduce the
number of dialogs and dialog box changes.
